Joyous Journey Celebrations strives to make your Wedding Day as perfect and meaningful as possible. These are services we can add to any ceremony. All of these services are included in the “Formal Wedding” package and can be added to all other packages/ceremonies for a small additional fee.
If you have something in mind and don’t see it below just ask. We’ll be happy to create it just for you!
Wedding Ceremony Rehearsal ~ $100
We noticed that because of the different venues being used, more and more couples did not require a rehearsal. So rather than making everyone pay for something they may or may not use, we decided to make it optional.
A rehearsal requires an additional trip to your venue and at least an hour of your Officiant’s time to walk your wedding party through the steps they will be taking on your Wedding Day.
If you are undecided about adding this, talk to your Officiant and hear the pros and cons before you make your choice. They have experience with all types of ceremonies and are there to help!
ASL Ceremony Interpretation Available ~ No Fee
At Joyous Journey Celebrations, we feel it’s important that EVERYONE is included in your special day. Upon request, we will happily arrange to have an ASL Interpreter during your ceremony.
We can also provide printed copies of your ceremony for your hearing impaired guests.
This is too special a day to leave anyone out. Contact us today to find out how you can add our interpreter to your ceremony.
All Ceremonies are custom written for each couple. Couple must provide the supplies necessary for their chosen ceremony.
Unity Candle Ceremony ~ $50
A unity candle is a candle used in a wedding ceremony to symbolize two people or two families joining in marriage. Two tapered candles are lit either by the couple or their families. These two candles are used to light one single pillar candle thus becoming one larger, stronger new family.

Sand Ceremony ~ $50
A Sand Ceremony or Blending of the Sand is a unique way to symbolize two lives becoming one in a wedding ceremony. This is also a great way to incorporate children or family into the wedding. The sand signifies each person’s life thus far. As the different colored grains of sand (each person) come together they can never be separated.

Handfasting ~ $50
Handfastings are commonly used in Wiccan and Pagan ceremonies. Today the handfasting is more literal: a couple will bind their hands together during the wedding ceremony (before, during, or after reciting their vows), often to symbolize their connection and devotion to one another.
Couple must provide ribbon.
Love Locks Tree Unity Ceremony ~ $50
Love Locks unity ceremony is a unique way of expressing love and commitment.

Unity Cross Ceremony ~ $50
The Unity Cross, or God’s Cross, is a cross in 3 parts that you assemble as part of your wedding ceremony. The outer form of the Unity Cross represents the strength, leadership, and protection of the man. The bride’s piece of the Unity Cross represents the beauty and the many capabilities of the woman. The bride’s piece is designed with intricate, beautiful detail and is placed inside the protection of the groom’s cross. When they put the two pieces together, it represents the two becoming one. The Sculpture is held together by 3 pins. One for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, or one for the Bride, Groom, and God.
